## Summary

The Manchester City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of the "TC802 - Children's Rights Independent Advocacy and Independent Visitor Service". This contract, valued at £708,330 and classified under health and social work services, is significant for its focus on supporting looked after children and care leavers in various regions across England, including the North East, North West, and London. The contract period runs from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2026, following a successful open procurement process that concluded on 7th May 2021.
